My favorite story is about Alan Greenspan who commented regarding the question of when he knew that he had made it ie) rich perse. He answered "when I no longer had to concern myself with how much the book cost."

If you can't afford a new book, try the preamble to the Constitution and ask yourself what the words might mean today.

We the People (Power derives from us)
More Perfect Union (We can always do better)
Establish Justice (Keep it fair and honest)
Domestic Tranquility (We must do it peacefully)
Common Defence (Everyone is responsible)
General Welfare (We must look out for eachother)
Blessings of Liberty (From freedom, we obtain opportunity)
Posterity (We have a responsibility to the future)

PS: I am not sure that I didn't see this idea presented before by someone else, but at least its sorta fun to do myself. I encourage anyone to choose your own words of what you think it means today.
